Wow. #40 (Out of this World) is pretty darn obscure. Props to the artist for including Evie's dad.

I think I can identify 2/3 of them.

Some of them I can just think "hey, that's Balki"... but I can't remember the show.

Can we have the answer key? I'm at about 2/3 as well. Maybe 3/4.

This appears to be a scan from a Games Magazine from the early 1990's, no?

1. Looks like Tony Randall from The Odd Couple to me.
21. I thought it was Norm from Cheers.
probably wrong, but 17 looks a bit like Heather Langenkamp from Just the 10 Of Us. Or it's Samatha from Bewitched.
And Crissy from Three's Company is also my best guess for #26

23. could just as easily be Charles In Charge as well.
26 to me looks like a mix of Peg from Married With Children and Elaine Nardo from Taxi, though with both already represented elsewhere in the drawing, it's not them.

Yeah. I didn't see it before, but that's who that was supposed to be.

Yeah, you're right about that. I missed the hairstyle.

And nobody's figured even a guess for 19 yet, huh?

I originally thought that #19 looks like it could be
Spoiler:
Rob Petrie
if they had the hair parted the other way. Guess I was right, but definitely not the best portrayal.

Also, while I recognized #21 as
Spoiler:
Dan Conner
it could have also been a very poor likeness of
Spoiler:
Norm Peterson.


Some of the ones I didn't know, I'd chalk up to either poor drawings or recognizing the actor but not the show.
